Commodity Manager
On-site
Job description
Why we are here
Tony’s Chocolonely is committed to ending exploitation in cocoa. We are an impact company that makes chocolate, not a chocolate company that makes an impact. With incredibly tasty chocolate, we lead by example, demonstrating that ethical practices and success can go hand in hand. Through Tony's Open Chain (TOC), mission allies like Albert Heijn, Ben & Jerry's, Jokolade, and Aldi have embraced a fairer, more transparent supply chain for their chocolate.
What you will do
We are seeking a highly skilled Commodity Manager to lead our commodity strategy. Our procurement spend is exposed to the commodities market. With its fluctuations in available resources and related prices this strategic role is critical to our business objectives and will have a big impact on our mission and success. As Commodity Manager at Tony's you will focus on procurement, commodity management, and developing a future-proof strategy. You'll be responsible for developing and adjusting our buying policy depending on market conditions and aligned with Tony's risk appetite. We expect you to closely monitor market trends, make strategic recommendations, and redefine our approach for strategic commodities. In addition to the responsibilities mentioned earlier, a significant part of your role will be to ensure cost-effective sourcing of our non-cocoa commodities, secure a reliable supply, and actively contribute to our non-cocoa sustainability strategy.
All wrapped up
- Lead sourcing strategies for cocoa, dairy, and sugar to align with Tony’s needs and risk management.
- Continuously track market trends in line with business context, trigger/advise purchase decisions in line with our Commodities Committee (that includes stakeholders from our Procurement – Supply Chain – Finance team).

- Make sure Tony's has competitive prices for non-cocoa ingredients, leveraging on market research and co-developing alternatives with our main chocolate suppliers.
- Organize and facilitate regular meetings to support informed decision-making with up-to-date market insights.
